Re: The Real Housewives of Orange County

I like Shannon and I feel for her, but yeah going to Heather's to confront her when she was highly emotional wasn't the best idea. She should have talked to Tamara first. And of course Heather acts terrible towards her. I believe that she probably was spreading gossip about Shannon's marriage….getting angry about it just made her look guilty to me… Terry just looked terrified in the background- of Shannon and Heather! I'm glad David was nice to Shannon after that incident and I hope the two of them can work it out.

Tamara continues to be an idiot. Shannon would have been a true friend to her, but Tams messes it up in a really deceitful way! No one cares about her and her fake baby storyline so I guess she had to stir up stuff.

Re: The Real Housewives of Orange County

Since Shannon did discuss it with Tamara first, I think she was right to go to Heather. She showed Tamara the text about Heather gossiping, and Tamara saying anything. She went to Heather because she needed to know for herself whether or not she'd made a huge mistake confiding in Tamara. She got what she needed - Heather confirmed the information came from Tamara. Heather blew it up because she got so extremely defensive over it, which shook Shannon even more because she was so emotional. But if she had not gone to Heather, I'm not sure Tamara ever would have owned up to what she did. But I have to give Tamara credit - when she did own up to it and apologize, she did it the way it should be done. She did not blame other people, she did not deflect. She admitted that she did it, it was wrong, and she was sorry.

Re: The Real Housewives of Orange County

Just my opinion but Heather was totally in the wrong here. To be gossiping at a table of women you don't know very well, a big no-no. Because, A- makes you look very bad, B- you don't know who you are saying things to. It's one thing to say, I hear they are having marital troubles and quite another to say, I heard she received an email from her husband asking for a divorce.
The first, yes, idle gossip you could hear from anywhere. The second, insider info that can only come from 1 place. This makes Heather look like a true "bad friend".

Yes, she doesn't owe Shannon anything, however, she owed Tamara something, as a friend she just made up with, to not blab the first confidence she shared with her about another "mutual" friend even if those "mutual" friends were/are on the outs. Yes, Tamara is no better of a trusting friend but she owned up to it, apologized and Shannon has to decide whether or not she will trust her again. But she could have easily told Shannon what she was there seeking from her as a mother to mother, woman to woman, friend to friend and not get all holier than thou and defensive and condescending to her. I think it took a lot for Shannon to go there especially after talking to Tamara and Tamara having said she hadn't said anything.

Re: The Real Housewives of Orange County

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that these shows are really just semi-scripted soap operas. I am sorry but if your marriage is in that much trouble why on Earth would you sign up to be a part of a reality TV show this is basically a version of middle aged mean girls? Has she never heard the track record for marriages & relationships that have been ruined by exposing their flaws for the entire world to see especially when you can google anybody? Why go to confront Heather at Heather's home with cameras rolling! Do these women live with Tv crews in their homes & cars for 6 months out of the year? I am sorry but I am no longer buying any of this at all. She confides in Tamara, who she had known for all of perhaps 2-3 months about her deepest & darkest secrets. Sorry that just doesn't happen in real life. Who would tell a practical stranger that her husband sent her an email that he wanted to separate? If this email were in fact true, someone explain just how they were going to go visit Vicky & Mr Creepy in Mexico...please...anybody explain that!

Re: The Real Housewives of Orange County

A few viewers interpreted from her behavior that she may have been drinking ... not from slurred words or falling down, but from assumptions, and from that Bravo should not have allowed her to drive? We saw her take one sip of a drink that she said was strong, admitted that she's not used to strong drinks, and didn't touch on camera the rest of the time. A mention was made of Tamara drinking a lot when she was going through her split from Simon, but that was not followed up with anything to show Shannon is doing the same, other than innuendo. A woman who is hiding a drinking problem is not likely to have a problem with a strong drink ... or to avoid drinking a drink that is handed to her. I think that Bravo didn't do anything about her driving because there was not an actual issue with drinking. They can't interfere based on what viewers may assume.
